Car Buying Service Customer Reviews
The Consumer Reports Build & Buy Car Buying Service (the "Service") is provided to Consumer Reports users by TrueCar.com. TrueCar operates the Service's dealer network and the Service's website. Consumer Reports collects a fee from TrueCar for vehicles purchased from a TrueCar dealer. 100% of the fees we collect goes to support our nonprofit mission. Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with any dealer.
Neither Consumers Reports nor TrueCar brokers, sells, or leases motor vehicles. Each TrueCar Certified Dealer will confirm actual vehicle availability from in-stock inventory, including options and color choices.
The Service may not be available in your particular location.
* Between 10/01/2024 and 12/31/2024, the average savings off MSRP experienced by consumers who connected with a TrueCar Certified Dealer through the Build & Buy Car Buying Service and who were identified as buying a new vehicle from that Certified Dealer was $2,860. Your actual savings may vary based on multiple factors, including the vehicle you select, region, dealer, and applicable vehicle specific manufacturer incentives, which are subject to change. The MSRP is determined by the manufacturer and may not reflect the price at which vehicles are generally sold in the dealer's trade area, as many vehicles are sold below MSRP. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
